I would say all beginners struggle with Bar chords. I have been with TAC for 2 1/2 years and still struggle but that is my fault because I try to avoid them.

Like anything else, it’s practice and dedication.

If you find and secret sauce, let me know!! Good Luck.

Good Luck!

I had rotator cuff surgery this spring and vowed not still play everyday. Even though I could not fret for about a week, I would still hold my guitar and practice picking.

There is only one level of challenges. The challenges repeat on a yearly basis. Should start on a Monday and work through the challenges til Friday. Do what you can for the time you want to spend. You are not being graded….well maybe by yourself. If you like the weeks challenges, save them (Click on the heart). Then you can go back to them if you want to spend more time on them.

They Do repeat on a yearly basis. I printed them off and file them away. I prefer the tabs printed. Also you can save the challenges and have access anytime if you like. If there is a Challenge that I really enjoyed, I will save it for access at a later time. Click the “Heart” on the Challenge to save it.

On your main page, there is a large box that says “View Previous Challenges”. You can go back 45 Days.

How do I find weekly challenges? - Tony's Acoustic Challenge

I've been out for several months. I've seen the emails about what is being studied. I was so excited to be back partially bc "Old…

This spring I had Rotor Cuff Surgery on my left shoulder. I knew I would not be able to use my left fretting hand for a while. I decided to work on finger picking patterns until I could get my left hand on the fret board.

Thank you.

Welcome John.

Good advise from the Old Coach. You may start to get emails every Monday telling you about the challenges for the week ahead. Don’t worry about these until you are ready. They do repeat so you won’t be missing anything.

You are on your own pace and not competing with anyone but yourself. So enjoy each day!

Good Morning and Welcome to TAC. First off, I would say don’t worry about the Monday emails for now. They refer to Daily Challenges. Those Challenges repeat on a yearly basis and you can join in and start them when you are ready. Tony has developed a Five day process for learning a song or Technique which the Daily Challenges takes you through.

It has been a couple of years since I did the 30 Day and 5 day, but I think you start with the 30 day. Do what you can. if the 30 day takes you 60 days, that is OK. You do it at your Pace. You may find you can do a couple a day, and that is OK also.

Guitar is hard but rewarding. Do what you can and enjoy the journey.

[Bayvu2]

Great Job! Congratulations.

[Bayvu2]

Welcome. How you do the lessons is up to you and your own pace. Some may do the 30 days to play in a week or two and some may take 30 days or longer. And that is OK. You can always come back and repeat the lesson. But you should keep moving forward even if you don’t feel you “Mastered” the lesson. Guitar is not easy. We all have different time restraints. Try to get into a rhythm with your routine for playing. Good Luck.

This one was not a complete tear. I was surprised I could reach the neck within 5 days of surgery.

[Bayvu2]

Great information. Thank you.

[Bayvu2]

interesting! Thanks.
